remember two years ago john boehner was trumpeting the tea party. this was the movement that swept him into power in 2010, those midterms. now you hear him singing a very different tune, a very different tune than mitch mcconnell four years ago, pledging his only responsibility, job number one, was to see this was a one-term president. so that's some groundwork for the president also, where he's got a playing field that will be much more easier for him to reach out. again, i think he initially saw this campaign as a referendum on the way that republicans governed. if you look at those exit polls, it does show that there is support for the way the president wants to reform the tax code, raising taxes on the middle class, having those bush tax cuts expire. so there is some momentum that he has. it's not a clear, clear mandate because the popular vote, i think, was so close, but on that electoral map, it was a real walloping for republicans and the way that they have governed and the way they have gone about approaching very important issues. this is a

john boehner was one of only eight members that voted against that bill. he is now our speaker and those days are over. instead of more earmarks or new taxes, our bill will remove barriers to job growth by expanding american energy production which will help lower gas prices and using the revenue to repair and improve roads and bridges. repairing roads and bridges is not just a safety issue, it is an economic one. pennsylvania has more structurally deficient bridges than any other state and a half million people in the are out of work. that is why our bill removes barriers to job growth and reforms the process by ending needless delays, empowering states and communities and ensuring resources go to projects that have a direct connection to our economy. this is another good idea that will help put americans back to work and it, too, is built on common ground. president supports improving infrastructure and recently echoed our party's call for an all of the above energy strategy. to learn more about the american energy infrastructure jobs act and republican
